Miss America Pageant Tries (Again) to Rework Her Image
After years of struggling for relevance and viewers, the Miss America Pageant says it's time to re-polish the brand by adding an interactive element to the show. "If you look at 'American Idol' and a lot of other reality shows, it almost seems like they are looking for outrageousness as a characteristic, as opposed to poise, maturity, attractiveness and smarts," says Ely Dahan, a marketing professor at UCLA Anderson School of Management.

Bloomberg Enjoys Freer Rein Than L.A.'s Mayor
Even though the Mayor's of New York and Los Angeles both enjoy high approval ratings and are seen as future political stars, the city governments they manage are very different beasts. Government seems to play a smaller role in Los Angeles because it offers fewer services. According to Daniel Mitchell, professor of management at UCLA Anderson, L.A.'s decentralized government can be traced to progressive reform movement in the early 20th century.

Governor Goes Broke for Political Capital
Within days of taking the oath of office for the second time, Governor Schwarzenegger unveiled an ambitious agenda, pushing several expensive programs.

Gov. Schwarzenegger released a $143.4 billion spending plan that many feel uneasy about.

Schwarzenegger Wants to Build New Prisons, Schools, Dams
Gov. Schwarzenegger wants to borrow billions more to build new prisons, schools and dams to keep up with California's population growth over the next 20 years. "The tendency for the state to borrow is extremely unwise," says Edward Leamer, director of the UCLA Anderson Forecast. "It's pushing spending on to the next generation, and that's not fair and it's not wise."

Real Estate in Transition, Experts Say
Most residential real estate professionals are calling 2007 a transitional year. Edward Leamer, director of the UCLA Anderson Forecast, says he doesn't foresee the residential real estate market changing dramatically.

Plenty of Prescriptions, But No Cures
Gov. Schwarzenegger's latest plan to reform healthcare is just the latest in a long line of attempts.

Balancing Budget Trickier This Year
Unlike previous years, California's housing market is not likely to provide a fiscal windfall for the state this year.

Not according to Edward Leamer, director of the UCLA Anderson Forecast who predicts that real estate will be a "moderate to poor" investment in 2007. "Over the last five years, a home was seen as an investment," says Leamer. "Now it's just a place to live." This article appeared on Jan. 7.

Housing Dip Expected

Four Speeches to Set Priorities for Governor's Second Term

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The major winter storm pounding the Midwest is also affecting Charlotte.
Several flights to destination like Chicago and Kansas City were canceled Friday, others were delayed by as much as three hours.
Airline recommend checking your flight status before you leave for the airport. Some airlines are allowing passengers to rebook for frees.
Mina Chakoor was curled up on a chair, staring at a weather map on her iPad. She was trying to get to Des Moines, Iowa and was not optimistic.
"Probably will get a hotel if I don't make it, or get on another aircraft and go to New York," she said.
Chicago is where John Ronn was trying to go, but not making much progress. The windy city had six inches of snow on the ground just after 6 p.m. Thursday.
"Pretty much I stay here until I can get the next flight that actually does make it to Chicago," said Ronn.
Some airlines are changing their policies to make it easier for passengers to re-book their flights.
The best advice is still to call your airline before heading to the airport.

Honey is a 2-year-old female Chihuahua. For the first couple years of her life she had a nice home with nice owners, but they suddenly had to move and she couldn't go with them.
The volunteers at the shelter didn't name her, but sweet as she is, they feel it is apt and hope she will soon find her forever home.
Here are some things you should know about her:
- She gets along with small dogs and all those she has been housed with.
- She is playful with small children.
- She is good in the car.
- She walks well on leash.
- She loves lots of attention.
- She has had intermediate dog training.
- She responds better if people go slowly when first meeting her.
Sadly she spent a lot of her time outdoors, so it is unknown if she is housebroken. That's not a problem, because volunteers will lend you a crate and give you helpful house training tips so she can have a successful indoor life.
If you are looking for a girl who is as sweet as honey, ask to meet her today.
To choose Honey, request ID A4504579. The Agoura Shelter is at 29525 Agoura Road, Agoura Hills. Occasionally pets have already been adopted. To check availability, call 818-991-0071 or visit the website.

Artificial leg, Europe, 1914-1918
Made from heavy oak wood and weighing over 4 kg, this prosthetic leg was made for a British merchant seaman whose ship had been sunk in the Red Sea – located between Sudan and Saudi Arabia – during the First World War. When the seaman was captured by a German vessel, the ship's carpenter made this leg for him. The seaman wore the leg until he returned home after the First World War. The leg is jointed, with toes, ankle and knee all able to bend.

Comments about Long Black Pig Tail Adult Wig:
First the wig was not packaged properly. It was not folded on the middle part causing a crease on one side of the hair. When you put it on, you see a bump on one side of the head. It's been under my mattress trying to get this crease out without ruining the wig. Second, it does not fit well. I constantly have to tug on the pigtails to make it hold still. Third, the quality was rather quality-less. Loose strands were coming out from the braided part and the ends of the pigtails were raggedy. I had to tie them so they would look decent. I DO NOT recommend this product. Definitely not worth the [$].

Email Story RSS Permalink Print Despite ongoing discussion that drought is strong indicator of climate change, a federal study released this spring by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says last year's drought was not instigated by climate change, but by a reduction in moisture coming in from the Gulf of Mexico. The report authors point to two specific reasons why they believe the drought is not related to climate change: rapid onset and unpredictability. "The event did not appear to be just a progression or a continuation of the prior year's record drought event that occurred over the southern Great Plains," the study says, noting that it developed suddenly with near normal previous precipitation during winter and spring. The near normal rainfall gave little forewarning of subsequent failed rains.Controversial NOAA report says last year's devastating drought could be characterized as 'flash drought' Conducted by NOAA's drought task force, the report says the drought could be characterized as a flash drought – an event that appears quickly and yields significant growing-season impacts. "Neither ocean states nor human-induced climate change, factors that can provide long-lead predictability, appeared to play significant roles in causing severe rainfall deficits over the major corn producing regions of central Great Plains," the report says. Natural variations in weather, including lack of moist Gulf of Mexico air infrequent summertime thunderstorms were the key causes behind the drought, they note. Impacts of the drought were extreme, resulting in loss estimates in excess of $12 billion. Specifically, river commerce and agricultural production was halted, leading to long-term impacts. Though much of the Corn Belt is now seeing a drought reprieve – with short-term weather patterns actually headed the other direction, towards rain and cool temps – the Great Plains is still suffering from lack of moisture. But, after 2012, NOAA researchers say the drought has done nothing to deter U.S. corn and soybean plantings for 2013. The expected corn acreage, 97.3 million acres, would be the highest since 1936. The expected soybean acreage of 77.1 million acres would be the fourth-highest planted area on record. For 2013, cotton plantings are expected to total 10.0 million acres, down 19% from a year ago.

Top-Seeded Towson Tops #4 Drexel in CAA Women's Lacrosse Championship Semifinals
TOWSON, Md. (May 3, 2013) – Top-seeded Towson scored two unanswered goals in the final three minutes of the game to defeat fourth-seeded Drexel 8-7 in the first semifinal of the 2013 CAA Women's Lacrosse Championship. The Tigers will face the winner of the No. 2 James Madison / No. 3 Hofstra semifinal in Sunday's Championship game at 1:00 p.m.
Towson (9-8, 6-1 CAA) was lead by graduate attacker Jackie Lamonica who had a career-high four goals on the day including the game-tying goal with 2:58 to play. Senior attacker Olivia Turner registered two goals including the game-winner with 2:47 to play. Junior attacker Ashleigh Rohrback added three assists while sophomore goalkeeper Kelsea Donnelly registered five saves for TU including a crucial save in the final minute of play.
Drexel (11-7, 4-3) was lead by junior midfielder Amanda Norcini who tallied two goals. Senior midfielder Kelli Joran and senior attacker Alyse Maiden each registered two points on a goal and an assist.
Towson opened the second half holding a 5-4 lead but Drexel began the frame with two unanswered goals to take a 6-5 lead with 23 minutes to play in the contest. Senior midfielder Kristin Kopenhaver tied the game at 5-5 while Joran gave the Dragons the lead with her lone goal on the day.
However Towson would answer with senior midfielder Laura Zinkland's second goal of the day to tie the game at 6-6 with 20 minutes to play. Drexel would again answer again with a Norcini goal for the third lead change of the half that gave Drexel a 7-6 lead.
The resilient Tigers would answer with their two unanswered goals to take the final lead with 2:47 to play. Drexel had one final possession with a chance to force overtime with 30 seconds to play but the Tiger defense forced one final caused turnover and was able to run out the clock and clinch the victory.
Drexel jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in the first three minutes of the game with goals from Norcini and Maiden. However, Towson would answer with four straight goals in the next six minutes to take a 4-2 lead with 7:50 to play in the first half. LaMonica netted her first three goals of the game during that stretch while Zinkland added the fourth.
The Towson defense held Drexel scoreless for 15 minutes during the first half but graduate attacker Jessica Rudloff netted the Dragons their third goal to pull the score to 4-3 with two minutes to play in the half. With under a minute to play in the half both teams each scored a goal to make the score 5-4 at halftime. Towson's Turner and Drexel sophomore midfielder Joelle Hartke netted the last minute goals.
Towson outshot the Dragons 19-14 and held a slim 22-20 lead in ground balls. The Drexel defense was able to hold the Tigers scoreless in three attempts from the free position and held a slim 9-8 advantage in draw controls. However the Tigers were able to secure the final two draw controls of the game, the second resulting in the game-winning goal.

Lindsay Lohan: Drunk, Sobbing, Freaked Out By Sex Scenes, Unstable on Set of The Canyonsby Free Britney at .
Lindsay Lohan was a complete mess on the set of The Canyons over the summer - even by her standards - according to a writer embedded in the indie production.
Stephen Rodrick, who says he was allowed to chronicle the project, says he saw a seemingly drunk LiLo get in her car and drive off set after a boozing session.
According to Rodrick, Lohan was out of control, acting like an utter disaster and initially fired from The Canyons after blowing off two days of filming.
Rodrick says Lohan showed up outside the director's hotel room, pounding on the door, hysterically crying and begging for her job back - for 90 MINUTES.
Eventually, she was hired back ... but things only got worse.
Lohan began constantly criticizing producers and her co-stars, and got drunk before shooting a scene in which she would be simulating a four-way sex scene.
After the scene, which featured real-life porn stars, producers offered Lindsay a hired car to drive her home ... but she refused and drove off in her Porsche.
According to Rodrick, whose report was publicized by TMZ this afternoon, producers "all hoped they would still have a lead actress in the morning."
In the article, Rodrick says Lindsay Lohan freaked about another sex scene in which she was supposed to get naked ... and locked herself in a closet.
Rodrick says the director had to beg her to do the scene and even stripped naked himself and had the crew do the same to show her it was no big deal.
The gimmick worked, and Lohan filmed the 14-minute sex scene.
Unfortunately, the hits just kept on coming, however. Lindsay partied with Lady Gaga one night until 5:30 a.m., when she had a 6:00 a.m. call time.
She showed up at 9 a.m., but left soon after a doctor said she was too sick to film. Somehow, the film got made ... and looks like the worst movie ever:

It seems Lindsay's so called friend Lady Ga Ga is bent on Lindsay's destruction,
If she knew that Lindsay had a film obligation at 6am then why keep her friend up all night partyin, couldnt it wait till a better night. Friends help friends achieve and suceed in life, perhaps friend is too strong a word to describe their relationship, at least on that night. Lindsay is just to trusting of others, assumes true friendship to easily, doesnt value herself for the friend she is to alot of people.She gives of herself and her heart and rarely receives it in return, this is just another example of this in her life to me.
To me Lady Ga Ga seems like a trustworthy person, and is a grest pianist too. To become an accomplished pianist takes dedication and patience and that's what Lindaay Lohan needs from a true freind, why not u Lady Ga Ga.
Please care about her while theirs still time to make a difference and she doesnt get all jaded and full of mistrust in her heart. Why not u Lady Ga Ga
It's no secret that she's been leading a wild and troubled life although obviously she's given the benefit of the doubt and tons of chances to redeem herself. No one is perfect nor can anyone pass judgement based on rumors/reports. Hopefully like so many others she will turn her life around.

Mohave County
Annual Financial Report
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2007
JOHN TIMKO 700 West Beale Street Phone: ( 928) 753- 0735
Financial Services Director P. O. Box 7000 Fax: ( 928) 753- 0704
Kingman, AZ 86402- 7000
Management's Discussion and Analysis
This discussion and analysis of the County's financial performance is intended to provide an overview of the County's
financial activities for the year ended June 30, 2007 based on currently known facts, decisions or conditions. Please read
it in conjunction with the County's basic financial statements, which begin on page 16.
Financial Highlights
· Total assets of the County exceeded its liabilities at the close of the fiscal year by $ 250 million, an increase of
8.86% from the prior year. Of this amount, $ 81.5 million is unrestricted and may be used to meet the
government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
· Property tax revenue increased by $ 5.6 million. This increase is due to a 12% increase in the tax levy created
by higher assessed values and new construction. The tax increase was predominantly in the secondary taxes
for special districts. The amount of increase for primary property taxes is limited to 2%.
· The County's total net assets as reported in the Statement of Activities increased by $ 20.4 million. Of this
amount, $ 19.9 million ( 98%) is attributable to governmental activities and $. 5 million ( 2%) is attributable to
business- type activities.
· As reported in the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances, the County's
governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $ 91.9 million, an increase of $ 11.7 million, after
restatement of the prior year's fund balance.
· The unreserved fund balance for the General Fund increased by $ 1.5 million ( 13%) and General Fund
revenues were short of budgeted revenues by $ 422 thousand and expenditures were only 82% of the original
adopted General Fund budget and 86% of the final General Fund budget.
Overview of the Financial Statements
The intent of this discussion and analysis is to serve as an introduction to Mohave County's basic financial statements.
Mohave County's basic financial statements comprise three components: 1) government- wide financial statements, 2)
fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary
information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government- wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of Mohave County's
finances, in a manner similar to a private- sector business.
The statement of net assets presents information on all of Mohave County's assets and liabilities, with the difference
between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of
whether the financial position of Mohave County is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government's net assets changed during the most
recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs,
regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items
that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods ( e. g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused accrued leave).
Both of these government- wide financial statements distinguish functions of Mohave County that are principally
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues ( governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to
recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges ( business- type activities). The
governmental activities of Mohave County include general government, public safety, highways and streets, health,
welfare, education, and culture and recreation. The business- type activities of Mohave County include water companies,
recreation, and landfill operations.
The government- wide financial statements include not only Mohave County itself ( known as the primary government),
but blended component units. The blended component units are legally separate entities for which Mohave County is
financially accountable.
Blended component units include the following: a television district, two tax- levying districts, special assessment
districts, and a finance corporation. The County's Board of Supervisors serves as the board of directors for all of the
component units except the finance corporation which has a separate board of directors made up of County management.
The list of blended component units follows:
· Mohave County Television District provides and maintains communication equipment for TV signals.
· Mohave County Library District provides and maintains library services for County residents.
· Mohave County Flood Control District provides flood control systems for the County.
· Mohave County Special Assessment Districts provide funds to construct or improve roads, bridges, and water
distribution systems.
· Mohave Administration Building Finance Corporation provides financing and oversight of the construction and
operation of the Mohave County administration building.
Financial information for the blended component units is combined with the financial information presented for the
primary government itself. The government- wide financial statements are on pages 16- 17 of this report.
Fund financial statements are groupings of related accounts that are used to maintain control over resources that have
been segregated for specific activities or objectives. Mohave County, like other state and local governments, uses fund
accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance- related legal requirements. All of the funds of Mohave
County can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds - Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the government- wide financial statements. However, unlike the government- wide financial
statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near- term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as
well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government- wide financial statements, it is useful
to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental
activities in the government- wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long- term impact
of the government's near- term financing decisions. Both the governmental funds balance sheet and the governmental
funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this
comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The governmental funds financial statements can
be found on pages 18- 21 of this report.
Mohave County maintains 178 individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental
funds balance sheet and in the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for
the General Fund, Road Fund, Flood Control Fund, Scenic Debt Service Fund, and the County Capital Improvement
Fund, all of which are major funds. Data from the other 173 governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated
presentation, under the heading Other Governmental Funds.
Mohave County adopts an annual appropriated budget for all its funds. A budgetary comparison schedule has been
provided for the General Fund and the major Special Revenue Funds to demonstrate compliance with their budgets.
These schedules are presented on pages 52 to 56.
Proprietary funds - Mohave County maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to
report the same functions presented as business- type activities in the government- wide financial statements. Mohave
County uses enterprise funds to account for its water companies, park services, and landfill operations.
Internal Service Funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among Mohave
County's various functions. Mohave County uses internal service funds to account for its fleet of vehicles, employee
benefit health insurance trust, self- insurance trust, janitorial services, communication services, central print shop
services, and for its management information systems. Because all of these services predominantly benefit governmental
rather than business- type functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the government- wide
financial statements.
Proprietary funds financial statements provide the same type of information as the government- wide financial
statements, only in more detail. The proprietary funds financial statements provide separate information for the water
companies and the landfill operations, which are major funds of Mohave County. Conversely, all of the internal service
funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation in the proprietary funds financial statements. The proprietary
funds financial statements are located on pages 22- 24 of this report.
Fiduciary funds - Fiduciary funds account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government.
Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government- wide financial statements because the resources of those funds are
not available to support Mohave County's own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much like that
used for proprietary funds. The fiduciary funds financial statements can be found on pages 25- 26 of this report.
Notes to the financial statements - The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of
the data provided in the government- wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements are
located on pages 27- 50 of this report.
Other information - In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, pages 52- 58 present required
supplementary information including budgetary comparison schedules and Mohave County's progress in funding its
obligation to provide pension benefits to some of its employees. Other supplementary information presenting budgetary
comparison schedules for the Scenic Debt Service Fund and County Capital Improvement Fund are located on pages 59-
Government- wide Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In the case of
Mohave County, assets exceeded liabilities by $ 250 million at the close of the most recent fiscal year, after restatement
of the beginning net assets. For details regarding the restatement of July 1, 2006, refer to Note 2 on page 33.
By far the largest portion of Mohave County's net assets ( 56%) reflects its investment in capital assets ( e. g., land,
buildings, infrastructure, machinery, and equipment) less accumulated depreciation and any related debt used to acquire
those assets that is still outstanding. Mohave County uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens;
consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although Mohave County's investment in its capital
assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided
from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
11% of Mohave County's net assets represent resources subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The
remaining $ 81.5 million of unrestricted net assets may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens
and creditors. The largest changes in the net assets occurred in the governmental funds. The changes are discussed
separately under the following sections; Governmental activities – net assets highlights, Business- type activities – net
assets highlights, and Capital Asset and Debt Administration.

Government- wide
Governmental activities - net assets highlights: The net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt had a net
increase of $ 4.8 million. The details of the increase in assets are discussed later in this report under the Capital Asset and
Debt Administration heading. Total liabilities decreased $ 9.6 million from last year. Long- term liabilities decreased
$ 5.5 mostly due to an early payoff of the Certificates of Participation, Series 2000 along with normal debt payments and
no new debt issuances. Other liabilities decreased $ 4.1 million primarily due to a decrease in accrued liabilities from the
prior year of $ 2.8 million in the Flood Control Fund for payments made to cities under an intergovernmental agreement
for flood control projects. The expense did not decrease for the current year, and did not need to be accrued as it was
paid earlier. In addition, deferred revenues decreased by $ 2 million due to the restatement discussed in Note 2 on page

Governmental Activities
As of June 30,
Statement of Net Assets
The restricted net assets reflected a net decrease of $ 3.8 million. This was a result of a $ 2.6 million early payoff of the
Certificates of Participation, Series 2000 and the Road Fund spending an additional $ 1.7 million on road maintenance
than was collected this year, offset by small increases in other funds.
Unrestricted net assets increased by $ 18.9 million from the prior year due to unspent revenue in the County Capital
Improvement Fund, Flood Control Fund and remaining funds, of $ 6, $ 3.6, and $ 4.9 million respectively. In addition, the
internal service funds net assets, which are included here, increased by $ 2.1 million over the prior year.
The majority of this increase represents funds set aside for reserves in the employee benefit trust and self insurance trust.
The remaining $ 2.3 million reflects the net increase resulting from the prior period adjustment changing the recognition
of Federal in- lieu revenue by $ 2 million and correcting for prepaid expenses of $. 3 million.
Governmental activities – comparative statement of activities highlights: Mohave County continues to have steady
population growth while the economy is just now starting to decline. While the downturn in the housing market reduced
the number of homes sold during the year, higher assessed values on those homes resulted in increased property tax
revenues. The County has managed to maintain moderate growth in controllable expenses, due to increased efficiency,
while providing services to an expanding population. The increase in expenses was primarily from a cost of living and
market adjustment to salaries, which the County felt was necessary to attract and keep qualified personnel. The non-controllable
expenses such as court costs from increased caseloads and indigent support continue to rise. The expenses
increased $ 14.3 million over the prior year. The current year governmental financial statements reflect an increase of
$ 13.1 million in total revenues due to several factors. Secondary property taxes rose because of a 12% increase in the
tax levy. The assessed values rose substantially and new construction was still significant. There was an increase in
other taxes: sales tax, auto- lieu tax, and capital projects sales tax. These increases were generated by a strong economy at
the beginning of the year, increased population growth, and tourism. Investment earnings increased by $ 3.8 million over
the prior year due to improved return on investments and an unrealized gain recorded in the current year, as opposed to
an unrealized loss recorded in 2006.

Business- type activities - net assets highlights: Net assets increased by $ 492 thousand. The majority of this increase
was due to a capital project in the Landfill Fund to construct septage ponds at the Cerbat landfill. Offsetting the $ 855
thousand increase to capital assets was an increase in total liabilities of $ 341 thousand. Of this increase, $ 562 thousand
resulted from an increase in projected closure and postclosure costs for the Landfill Fund. This increase was offset by a
decrease of $ 234 thousand to other liabilities resulting from a lump sum payment by Griffith Energy for sales taxes
accrued in 2006 and paid to the State of Arizona in fiscal year 2007.

Analysis of revenue changes - The Business- type Activities Comparative Statement of Activities schedule on the
following page shows the increases and decreases in total revenue with an overall decrease to total revenues of $ 3.6
thousand. The decrease was caused by a reduction in operating grants and contributions from the previous year. These
grants were for improvements to Davis Camp Park restroom facilities and the Hualapai Mountain Park visitor center.
This decrease was offset by an increase of $ 350 thousand in other income resulting from interest earnings and increased
use fees.
Business- type activities - comparative statement of activities highlights: Net assets for all enterprise funds increased
$ 492 thousand from the prior year. Net assets of the Landfill Fund increased by $ 759 thousand due to increased interest
income, decreases in operating expenses that resulted from being in the off year of the two- year cycle for the waste- tire
removal contract, and the addition of septage ponds at the Cerbat landfill booked as an infrastructure asset. In addition,
the library district repaid a loan issued in fiscal year 2005. Water company expenses increased in total by $ 460
thousand. The major contributors to this increase were from an increase in cost of liability insurance for the I- 40 Water
Corridor Fund and payments to an engineering firm to evaluate the Golden Valley Improvement District water supply
and develop a plan for future usage. Salaries for both water companies increased due to a cost of living adjustment and
the addition of one utility service worker.

Financial Analysis of the Government's Funds
As noted earlier, Mohave County uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance- related legal
Governmental funds - The focus of Mohave County's governmental funds is to provide information on near- term
inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable sources. Such information is useful in assessing Mohave County's
financing requirements. In particular unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net
resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of the end of the current fiscal year, Mohave County's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances
of $ 91.8 million, an increase of $ 11.7 million in comparison with the prior year. The reserved fund balances consist of
$ 5.5 million reserved for debt service and $ 324,618 invested in inventory.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of Mohave County. At the end of the current fiscal year, the unreserved
fund balance of the General Fund was $ 13.5 million. As a measure of the General Fund's liquidity, it may be useful to
compare both unreserved fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. The General Fund unreserved
fund balance represents 20% of total General Fund expenditures.
During the current fiscal year, the fund balance of Mohave County's General Fund increased by $ 1.5 million. This
represents a 12.5% increase from the fiscal year 2006 ending balance. Revenues increased by $ 5.9 million ( 8.7%), while
expenditures increased $ 7.2 million ( 11.9%) over the previous year. Total expenditures as a percentage of the total
original budget were only 82% in fiscal year 2007. The increases are the result of rapid population growth in the county.
The County addressed personnel requirements to provide services to a growing Mohave County population by giving
market adjustments and COLA increases. These increases along with increased retirement and health insurance costs
accounted for a 12% increase in personnel costs. Other cost increases occurred in the following areas: legal services,
mental health and AHCCCS services, inmate costs, and equipment automation.
The Road Fund had a total fund balance of $ 11 million, of which $ 324,618 is reserved for inventories and $ 10.7 million
is unreserved and will be used for road maintenance. The net decrease in unrestricted fund balance during the current
year in the Road Fund was $ 1.7 million. The decrease results from more road projects completed in this fiscal year than
the amount of funds collected. The balance reflects funds available for ongoing road projects of the County.
The Flood Control Fund balance increased by 3.6 million. The majority of revenue for this fund comes from secondary
taxes which increased due to the rise in assessed values, as discussed previously. There as also a new IGA with the City
of Kingman for Phase III that brought in .8 million. In addition, the expenses decreased due to the completion of one
flood control project and minimal expenses being incurred on the next project.
The Scenic Debt Service Fund had an ending fund balance of $ 1.3 million. The fund balance decreased by $ 40,000.
The County Capital Improvement Fund had a fund balance of $ 34 million at June 30, 2007. This was an increase of $ 5.9
million from the prior year. The increase reflects the fact that there were no major capital projects in 2007. The revenue
stayed the same except for an increase in interest earnings. Revenue was offset by $ 1.5 million in various small capital
projects and a transfer out for debt service and maintenance of the County administration building of $ 1.9 million.
Expenditures decreased by $ 8.8 million from the prior year ( reflecting the decrease in construction). A major jail
construction is scheduled to begin at the end of fiscal year 2008 ( see Note 15) which will use most of the current fund
The Other Governmental Funds had a combined fund balance of $ 22.7 million at June 30, 2007. This was a net increase
of $ 2.4 million from the prior year. The net increase is primarily from a $ 3.5 million transfer into the Administration
Building debt Service Fund for future debt payoff. Two other major changes include the payoff of the library note of
$ 845,402 and the Certificates of Participation, Series 2000 early payoff of $ 2.6 million. These additional expenses were
offset by an increase in tax revenue of $ 1.4 million, resulting from higher assessed values and collections of delinquent
interest and taxes, and increases in investment earnings and contributions.
Proprietary funds – Reports for Mohave County's proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the
government- wide financial statements, but in more detail. Unrestricted net assets of the water companies, park services,
and landfill operations at the end of the year amounted to $ 1.8 million. Net assets for all enterprise funds increased
$ 492,477, a 2% increase from the prior year. The water companies did not show profits. They had decreases of
$ 290,050 and $ 133,269, respectively. However, if you add back the non- cash expense of depreciation to those funds,
they would have made a small profit. The Landfill Fund's net assets increased by $ 759,006. The increase is from
reduced expenses for tire disposal, offset by moderate increases in postclosure costs and salaries. The accumulated net
assets will be used for future expansion, as well as closure and postclosure costs. The G. V. I. D. Fund had a small loss of
$ 133,269, after depreciation of $ 293,198. The Other Enterprise Funds posted a small loss of $ 39,823 but after
contributions from grant funds of $ 196,913, they showed an increase of $ 156,790. The contributions were assets
generated from grant funds that were transferred to the parks when completed.
Net assets for the internal service funds increased by $ 2.1 million. $ 1 million of that amount was excess contributions
over claims expense in the Employee Benefit Trust Fund. The Self Insurance Trust Fund also had excess collections
over expenses during the current fiscal year of $. 4 million. These will be used to build up net assets and reduce future
increases in costs passed on to employees and other departments. The motor pool fund had an increase in net assets of
$. 6 million generated by vehicles transferred in from the vehicle replacement fund. The $. 1 million balance of the
increase was a combination of increases and decreases in the remaining funds.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
Revenues: No changes were made to the General Fund revenue budget during the year. The 2007 budget for revenue
was increased from the prior year by $ 7.6 million. The general fund realized all but $. 4 million of the total amount of
revenue budgeted.
Expenditures: Differences between the original budget and the final amended budget resulted from moving
expenditures between departments and categories of budget. There were $ 3.7 million in decreases to general
government activities, which included a decrease of $ 4.6 million from contingency to cover transfers to other funds as
described below and $ 865 thousand within the general government expenses. The money reallocated from contingency
to other general government departments went mainly to the County attorney's office and Public defender for legal
expense and court costs of $ 750 thousand. The mandated budget for services for Indigents, received an additional
$ 110,000 to cover excess costs. The net difference for expenditures was a decrease of $ 3.8, 3.5 million of that was
moved from contingency to transfers out.
Transfers out: The increase of $ 3.5 million ( reallocated from expenditures) was used to fund an allocation to the
Administration Building Debt Service Fund for future debt payments.
Variances between actual revenues, expenditures and final budgeted amounts will be discussed below for all significant
differences, as related to the schedule in required supplementary information on pages 53- 54.
Revenues: Overall, revenues fell just short of the budgeted total. However, individually there were variations in several
revenue sources. Tax revenue exceeded budgeted amounts by $ 1.4 million due mainly to the sales of delinquent
properties resulting in a $ 2.4 million excess of delinquent interest and tax revenue over budget. Interest revenue was up
due to a combination of increased investment rates and increased amounts of investments. Miscellaneous income
reflected the recognition of revenue from cancelled warrants of $ 300,000. The primary exceptions for revenue
exceeding budget were in intergovernmental, charges for services, and licenses and permits. An unexpected downturn in
the real estate market had serious repercussions. State shared revenue for sales tax and auto- lieu were below budget by
almost $ 1 million. Planning and zoning, Building inspector's license and permit revenue, Assessor's fees, and
Recorder's fees were down as a direct result of the slowing construction industry.
Expenditures: Expenditures were less than budgetary estimates by $ 11.3 million. As permitted by State statutes, the
County budgets its available unrestricted fund balance at the end of the prior fiscal year as contingency for the next year.
The remaining balance of the prior year contingency at year- end was $ 5.3 million. An additional $ 4.9 million excess
budget was in salary expense from personnel vacancies. Over half of that amount was reflected in Public safety,
Planning and zoning, Building inspector, Public defender, and Public legal defender departments, where the departments
are having trouble filling open positions. Planning and zoning had excess budget of $ 223,000 from not outsourcing the
plans review as they had budgeted. Building inspection had excess budget due to $ 100,000 for plans review that were
not outsourced. The A. H. C. C. C. S. budget was inadvertently doubled for administrative expense by including the same
$ 363,000 on two different lines of the budget, which is why there is remaining budget. The remaining balance of
available budget is scattered throughout the other departments in supplies and other services.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration
Capital assets – Mohave County's investment in capital assets for its governmental and business- type activities as of
June 30, 2007 amounts to $ 159.9 million ( net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes
land, buildings, water systems, improvements other than buildings, machinery and equipment, park facilities, roads,
highways, and bridges. The increase in capital assets of $ 3.9 million ( net of depreciation) resulted from the following
projects and purchases: the Mohave Wash project, completion of the Bullhead City Justice Court building, and the
purchase of vehicles and road equipment that were added to the fleet.

As of June 30,
Major capital asset events during the current fiscal year include the following:
· Construction continues on the Mohave Wash project with total expenditures in 2007 of $ 758,000.
The County expects to complete the project by June 30, 2009.
· The County spent $ 1.8 million on three major road improvement projects: Shinarump Road,
Vanderslice Road, and Grace Neal Parkway.
· Preliminary architectural and engineering work began for the County Correctional Facility with
expenditures of $ 364,000 for the year.
· The Parks fund spent $ 163,000 on improvements at Davis Camp in Bullhead City.
· Construction was completed on the addition to the Bullhead City court building with expenditures
of $ 233,000 for the year. Total expenditures for the addition were $ 1.5 million.
· The County replaced 66 aging vehicles from the fleet at a total cost of $ 1.8 million. Forty- seven
vehicles were purchased using general government funds, seventeen were purchased with Road
funds, and two with business- type funds.
The 7% decrease to the business- type activities capital assets not being depreciated reflects the completion of the
Hualapai Mountain Park visitor center. The project was previously reported under construction in progress and was not
depreciated. Upon completion, the asset was reclassified as a depreciable asset. Notes 6 and 7, on pages 39- 40 of this
report, contain additional information on Mohave County's capital assets.
Long- term debt - At the end of the current fiscal year, Mohave County had total debt outstanding of $ 31.8 million. Of
this amount, $ 16.9 million comprises debt backed by buildings of the government used as collateral for Beneficial
Interest Certificates issued and $ 3.2 million is special assessment debt for which the government can sell the taxpayer's
property, to cover the debt, in the event of default by the property owners subject to the assessment. The remainder of
Mohave County's long- term liabilities represents claims and judgments payable, notes payable, landfill closure and
postclosure care costs payable, and compensated absences payable incurred during normal operations.
State statutes limit the amount of general obligation debt a government entity may issue to 6% of its total secondary
assessed valuation, without taxpayer approval, and up to 15% with the approval of a majority of taxpayers. The debt
limitation for Mohave County, for fiscal year 2006/ 2007, was $ 114 million ( 6% of $ 1.9 billion secondary assessed
value). Mohave County does not have any outstanding general obligation debt and therefore has its full debt limit
capacity available for future needs.
Note 9, on pages 41- 45 of this report, contains additional information on Mohave County's long- term debt.
Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates
Continued population growth that exceeds State and national growth significantly influences future budgets. More
citizens result in more service demands. A growing and changing economy creates additional costs and additional
demand for public services, requiring public revenues to keep pace with economic growth. Even though there is still a
growing trend in population, the revenue trend for governments is declining. This decline is predicted to continue for the
next year or two. All of these factors were considered in preparing Mohave County's budget for the 2008 fiscal year.
The unemployment rate for Mohave County for 2007 was 4.7%, which is an increase from a rate of 4.1% in 2006. With
this increase, the County's unemployment rate is growing faster than other areas and compares unfavorably to the state's
average unemployment rate of 3.8% and approximates the national average rate of 4.6%.

Anderson 2012 Ignite XS -3 Adult Baseball Bat (BBCOR)
The new Anderson Ignite™ series all-metal bats are a complete redesign of our single-wall technology products. These bats designed to maximize our Anderson all-metal alloy, with a shape that optimizes the M.O.I. (Moment of Inertia) of the bat throughout your swing.
The new alloy has a greater yield value and added strength that allows a lighter, more responsive, and larger Effective Hitting Area (EHA). Reducing the weight in the EHA, while maintaining the strength necessary to withstand impact, allows greater design versatility including a significantly reduced M.O.I.
Optimizing the M.O.I. makes it possible to swing the bat faster with less effort. Like an ice skater spinning, the distribution of weight determines the speed of the spin. Arms outstretched, the skater spins slowly. As the skater brings the weight of their arms inward toward their body - or toward the axis of the spin - their M.O.I. is reduced, and they spin faster with no added effort or weight reduction.
Anderson's TrueFlex™ End Cap, TaperFlex™ Contour, the Ultra-Thin Whip Handle, Sport Grip and the solid Ergonomic Weldless Knob are all integral parts of the M.O.I. optimization. Every curve and every component on the Anderson Ignite™ series bats add to the efficiency of the product. That energy transfer efficiency equals better performance and provides the edge every player needs to compete effectively at the highest levels. Faster bat speed plus heavier overall weight equals surefire higher performance, every time.

People Brave Arctic Blast
GAHANNA--Winter hasnt given up. Though temperatures have hit record lows, people still braved the arctic blast. Some are anxious for the storm to be over.
A quick trim at the barber shop was all Brian Hutter and his son needed, but to Hutter winter has been anything but brief.
"His hair was getting really long. It has been awhile. We haven't been able to get out because it's been so cold, Hutter said.
Next week may be just as numbing. A frigid February could be ahead. Though most drove well below the speed limit, some cars still slipped into ditches. Saturday morning, Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers closed Intersate 70 in West Licking County after several cars crashed on the highway.
It was a day where patience wasnt just a virtue, but a necessity.
"We needed to come in early to shovel. We also have a staff member who wasn't able to come in yet. She's on 270, Linda Kick said, Dublin business owner, "We're hoping she going to be able to get in--and she's ok."

SNODENT takes the global stage
ADA and WHO evaluating latest version of International Classification of Diseases
Representing the ADA: Dr. Mark Jurkovich traveled to Denmark to convene the International Health Terminology Standards Development Organization's Dental Specialty Interest Group, identify priorities and develop a work plan. The IHTSDO is the leading provider of standardized clinical terminology in the world.
The ADA is working with the World Health Organization by using the Association's dental diagnostic codes to compare with ICD-11 oral health codes.
The WHO and ADA will use the Systematized Nomenclature of Dentistry, also known as SNODENT, to determine if the oral health codes within ICD-11 are complete, comparable and compatible. ICD-11 will be the latest version of a disease classification that's used to record many types of health and vital records, including death certificates. Countries that are members of the WHO use these records to compile national mortality and morbidity statistics, which may be used to determine financial reimbursement and resource allocations.
SNODENT is a vocabulary designed for use in the electronic health records environment. Any dentist who uses electronic health records or who plans to in the future should be aware the use of diagnostic codes is on the horizon. SNODENT will be an important component within certified Electronic Health Records Systems for the federal and state governments' Medicaid and Medicare meaningful use incentive reimbursement programs.
European countries are already using ICD-10, but the United States is still in the process of moving into the 10th version. In the U.S., ICD-10 will become mandatory in 2014. ICD-10 was endorsed by the World Health Assembly in 1990, and WHO Member States began using it in 1994. The 11th revision of the classification will continue until 2015.
"This collaboration with the World Health Organization elevates the ADA to the global stage," said Dr. Poul Erik Petersen, who is leading the WHO Oral Health Topic Advisory Group. "The Association has worked hard to develop SNODENT so that U.S. dentists have a consistent dental terminology when they use electronic health records. By using SNODENT to revise and evaluate ICD-11, we can be assured that the newest version of the International Classification of Diseases is more accurate and comprehensive than previous endeavors. ADA member dentists who participate in the federal government's EHR Meaningful Use program can know they are using the most up-to-date diagnostic codes in the world."
SNODENT is incorporated into the International Health Terminology Standards Development Organization's SNOMED CT reference terminology. The IHTSDO is the leading provider of standardized clinical terminology in the world. The WHO has already established an agreement with the IHTSDO to use SNOMED CT in developing ICD-11. The use of SNODENT will work the same way.
The IHTSDO Dental Specialty Interest Group met April 8 in Copenhagen, Denmark as part of the IHTSDO's annual business meeting. The Dental SIG's main responsibilities included reviewing proposed new dental content, updating existing dental content, plus the proposal and development of new dental content-related projects. As part of the ADA/IHTSDO agreement, the Dental SIG is chaired by Dr. Mark Jurkovich, a member of the ADA Council on Dental Benefit Programs.
Dr. Jurkovich traveled to Denmark to convene the SIG, identify priorities and develop a work plan.

If there is one dream I have for Burlington and its residents, it is the synchronization of traffic lights in our beautiful Burlington, jewel-on-the-lake.
I admire our mayor's vision of our city, but I think there should be some passionate talk "about what is important to Burlington" (to use Rick Goldring's words, the Post, Nov. 28), namely synchronization of traffic lights.
It seems the city's engineering department has it out for Burlington's drivers with forever stop-and-go (traffic lights) and narrowing of roads.
Perhaps some 'forward thinking' can be exercised regarding traffic movement in this city.
